Honouring Remembrance Day: Complimentary travel fares to veterans

B.C.’s three major transportation agencies, BC Ferries, BC Transit and TransLink, are offering complimentary travel to veterans on Remembrance Day, Saturday, November 11 to thank retired and active military personnel for their service.

All three agencies will observe the traditional moment of silence at 11 a.m. to honour the sacrifices made by veterans in the line of duty. All Canadian flags on BC Ferries’ vessels and terminals will fly at half-mast on Remembrance Day and will display “Lest We Forget” messaging on electronic signage around the fleet. All buses will also display “Lest We Forget” on the destination screen for the day.

Lest we forget.
